The Indiana DISGRACE.

That all fair-minded citizens agree
that the Democratic members of the
legislature in the Hoosier State are ex-
ceeding their authority, and Wilfully
arraying themselves against the wishes
of the people is true, yet there is a
tendency on the part of many Demo-
cratic papers to uphold this disgraceful
action of their party. However this is
not true of all Democratic journals, as
will be seen by the follwing from the
Brattleboro Refornaer "a Democratic paper:
The Indiana Supreme court Wednes-
day rendered its decision in the disputed
Lieutenant GoVernorship question. 1t
is in favor Of the Republicans first ON a
question of Jurisdiction and form of pro-
cedure, and second on the question
whether there was vacancy that could
be filed by the election of last fall, or
whether it must be left till 1888, the
regular quadrennial period for the cleo
ton of Governor. The Republican claim
was that it is a question which is left
exclusively to the determination of the
general assembly under the State law.
The Democrats held that the statue did
not prescribe invalidity of election as
one of the specified causes of contest 1t
lawyers disagreed, but three of the
judges, including Niblock and Zeollaes,
Democrats, constituting majority of
the court, sustain the Republican posi-
ton and decide that there is no power
except that of the assembly to settle the
question. Two of the judges, who are
of course Democrats, dissent from this
position and hold that the Lieutenant
GOvernOrship must remain vacant until
1888. All the judges render separate
opinions and reach their conclusions by
somewhat different reasoning. Col.
Robertson, the Republican Lieutenant
Governor elect, promptly appeared in
the State Senate chamber, with certifi- |
cate from the court, to demand his suit, |
but Green Smith. the President pro tenn.
refused to allow the certificate or court |
opinion to be read and said Tell the |
man who wrote that to go to h" and |
adjourned the Senate in confusion The |
House passed a resolution by a party
vote not to reOrganiZe the Senate, until
legally organized in accordance with this
decision. Smith and his gang ought to
hear at once from the Democratic masses
of the State and so emphatically as to
put an end to their outrageous defiance
of law. But perhaps this is too much in
the way of decency to expect from HoOs-
Ter politics.

The Teas outrages.

Forty or fifty witnesses were brought
on to testify in the investigation before
the Senate committee of the alleged cleo
ton outrages in Texas. The investiga-
ton is substantially completed, and
there is little doubt that the charges
made have been sustained in every
essential particular. 1t is proved by
competent witnesses that reign of ter
ror existed and still exists in Washing
ton Co., Texas, which is due to political
excitement, and that the Democrats who
sought to secure control of the organiZa-
ton of Republican county resorted to
the traditional weapons and methods of
the bulldozer and the White League.
Intelligent black men who have testified
say that the method was, first to keep
the blacks away from the polls, and then
in the voting precincts where it was
sure that majority of Republican votes
would be cast, masked men appeared
while the counting was in progress and
lugged off the boxes. AT nearly every
stage of the proceedings the Democrats
have interpOsed the objection of want of
Jurisdiction, and the matter will end in
a minority report from the committee.
1t is evident that the Democrats have
either tolerated or tacitly upheld the
work of the bulldoZers.
A suggestive incident growing out of
this investigation is the issue of a me-
mortal to the Texas legislature by Judge
Cook, the criminal district Judge of
Galveston and Harris counties, pro-
nouneiDg the investigation unlawful,

The Literature of Intemperance.

A subtle source of danger arise:
from the effects of the literature o
intemperance- Poetry has long MN
istered to this dread vice. From the
Bacchic of the Grecian Anacreon,
and the graceful wine songs of the
Roman Horatius, down to our own
age, when Moore and Byron have lent
their mighty powers to throw new en-
chantments around the foaming tank
ard or the ivy-wreathed cup, and
make more attractive the slavery of
sensuality, poetry has battled for
wine. And even prose is far from
being pure. To literary men drunk
enness seems but venial sin, and
while many of them have fallen, like
the common herd of drunkards, be-
fore its assault, too many have pros
titated their pens to make attractive
and synonymous with all that is gen.
erous, noble, and whole-souled in hui
manity, this foul deformity, (which
to be hated needs but to be SEEM
not in poetic glamour, but as it really
is. When the highly wrought descrip-
ton of the drinking scene is banished
from the pages of the modern novel,
or if mentioned, is stigmatized in
burning letters of Reproduction when
the drunkard himself is depicted not
as good fellow, but as a great sinner
against his own and others souls ;
when the wine song echoes no longer
from the parlor and the club room,
and poets cease 10 be priests of the
Bacchic orgies; when history, faithful
to her trust, tells of dissipation and
luxury as among the surest sources
of national ruin; and ethics, redeemed
from the fear of man, points out in
pure and holy temperance the anti
dote of very much of our social and
political misery,-then shall a great
step have been taken to shield our
youth from danger and free our land
from woe. For as it was of old, with
the ballads, so is it now with the
books of nation. They mould the
plastic mind of youth, and their silent
influence is mightier than thousands
of living orators or countless words of
denunciation and appeal.--BiShop
